Judge dismisses terror charges against cleric

(WTVJ-TV) A federal judge has dismissed terrorism support and conspiracy charges against a Muslim cleric in South Florida accused along with his father of funneling cash to the Pakistani Taliban.

Izhar Khan, 26, an imam at a mosque in suburban Margate north of Fort Lauderdale, was expected to be a free man Thursday because U.S. District Judge Robert Scola issued a verdict of acquittal for him. Khan’s case was listed as “terminated” on Thursday, court records show.
